1 Claim.
to horseshoes and more known as racing plates .10 the steel insert comprises the toe calk of the One of the objects of my invention is to provide an improved insert within the. body portion. Another object is to provide an, improved toe 15 plate or calls for the shoe.
The invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawing and the following detailed description in which are set forth an illustrative improvement of the invenzo tive thought.
' ,In the drawing: F18. ljis a bottom plate.
Fig. 2 is Fig. 3 is a front Fig. 4 is a section on ing the manner in which the v in position.
Fig. 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Fig. 1. v Fig. 6 is an elevation of the steel insert or toe calk shown separate from the racing plate.
Fig. '7 is a top view ofthe same. Fig; 8 is a section on the line 8-8 of Fig. '7. I Referring to the drawing, as body of the shoe which is preferably composed of light weight material such as aluminum. Bar stock 34; inch by inch in size may be cut to the right length according to the size of the shoe desired and bent to' the proper shape to fit the 40 shape of the forging die.
The reference character B denotes an insert or toe calk. composed of suitable wear resisting material preferably steel. This insert may be composed of metal of an inch thick by of a section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
view of the plate.
line 4-4 of Fig. 2, showsteel insert is held 45 an inch wide cut to the length desired, which may the size and style of the shoe.
The member B is then passed through bending and crimping dies whereby it is given an arcuate configuration and a crimped portion ill at the 50 bottom. The toe is then placed in the forging die and the aluminum body member A is brought to a temperature of approximately 900 at which temperature the metal becomes plastic or gelatinous. It is then placed in the die on a era 56 press and pressed to shape under a pressure of vary according to view of the improved racing A denotes the main Y 1936, Serial No. 85,421
approximately 300 tons. .The upper face of the plate is fiat as indicated at ii while the lower or groundengaging face is inclined and is convex throughout the major portion of its extent as illustrated at i2 in Fig. and in the shaded 5 portion in Fig. .1. It will be noted that the convex portions l2 of the shoe are located at the sides of the shoe and slope gradually from a raised outer rim i i to the interior of the shoe. Intermediate the convex side portions there is 10 a built-up toe portion i3 which in the complete shoe is of substantially greater thickness than the side portions and serves to firmly hold the steel toe calk B in place as is apparent from Fig. 2, the insert being preferably of s'ubstantiallythe same length as the raised 'or built-up reinforcing portion l3.
After the shoe A has been shaped and while still hot and plastic the crimped root portion of'the toe B is pressed into the shoe, the metal which is pressed in around the crimped portion serving to hold the plate solid.
The shoe is then trimmed by means of suitable trimming dies after which nail holes ii are formed in the shoe adjacent the rim [4. These holes are, of any suitable shape to receive standard horseshoe nails. The bottom of the plate is then ground to remove burrs caused by piercing the nail holes.
The toe is ground at the outside to produce a so bevel i6 preferably corresponding in inclination to the inclined front portion ll of the shoe. The inside of the toe plate is straight. This arrangement gives the horse a straight pull to the ground, while if the horse v in front of him the outside bevel will release instead of cutting off the tendon as would be the case with those shoes which are made at the present time that are beveled on the inside.
The invention has been described in detail for. 40 the purpose of illustration but it will be apparent that variations and modifications may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.
I claim:
A racing horse-shoe comprising a body member formed of light weight material shaped to fit the foot of the horse, said body member having a raised rim and side portions whose ground engaging faces are convex and slope gradually 50 from the raised rim toward the interior, a built-' up toe portion intermediate the side portions of substantially greater thickness than the side portlons, and a steel insert at the rim of the toe portion forced into the bodymcmber while said 66 should jump or strike a horse 35 body member is hot and plastic, said insert havinsert being of substantially the same length as ing a erimped root portion anchored within the the built-up toe portion of the body member, metal of the body member the exposed portion of and being braced by the extra thickness of said said insert being vertical on the inside and bevbuilt-up portion.
